The 1st Office Building's turnkey project within the Kaohsiung Software Park (Phase II)
|
The project is an office building located in Cianjin District, Kaohsiung City, featuring 11 floors above ground and 3 underground levels. It is constructed with a steel superstructure and reinforced concrete for the basement levels. Floors 1 through 2 are designated for commercial spaces, while floors 3 through 11 are allocated for office use. The total height of the building, including the roof structure, is 56.95 meters. The superstructure comprises a steel framework with a ductile moment-resisting frame system in the X direction and Y direction.

Project Details
Location: Kaohsiung, Taiwan Gross Building Area: 36,000 m^2 Scope of Service: Schematic design through construction documents Client: Yung Ching Construction Co., Ltd. Architect: M.Y.HSU Architects & Associates (Taipei, Taiwan) Structural Engineer: King-Le Chang & Associates |
The building has 6 equal spans with 11 meter in X direction; 4 spans within 5.5~9.5 meter in Y direction. While the building has a neat architectural appearance with orthogonal coordinates, the ductile moment-resisting frame system can be uniformly distributed. However, our goal is to make sure that the outcome of structural design strike a balance between safety and efficiency. In order to do so, we reduce some of the moment-resisting frames in X direction and replace these box columns with H-section columns under the premise of the allowable story drift ratio.
Thus, we lower the cost of steel and improve the constructability by cutting off the amounts of moment-resisting frames and reduce the on-site welding operation.
We conduct the design of the building with strictly following the provisions of safety, while taking efficiency and productivity into account.
The total use of steel is 2420 ton, which is 110 kg/m2 according to the gross floor area of steel superstructure.
